1000000

This number is a composite.

+ A prime number with at least 1,000,000 digits is called a megaprime.

+ One of the Clay Mathematics Institute's Millennium Prize Problems (The Riemann Hypothesis) implies results about the distribution of prime numbers; a prize of $1,000,000 is offered for its proof. [McAlee]

+ Paul Erdős said, shortly before he died, "It will be another 1,000,000 years, at least, before we understand the primes."

+ Physicists attack math's $1,000,000 question. [Wolchover]

+ The smallest positive integer not found in the digits of the current largest known prime (2^82589933-1). [Gaydos]
